Living in the University City. Giancarlo De Carlo and the University Colleges of Urbino

The Volume introduced by this editorial is the first issue of "URBANA. International Journal of Urban Policies and Studies,"an open-access peer-reviewed international journal that aims to publish innovative and original papers on the processes and values of socio-spatial complexity of urban policies and practices. URBANA aims to prioritize reflection on the operationalization of public policies for cities and territories; in this perspective, this Volume is peculiarly keen on the role of Italian universityinstitutions and cities, called to deal in various ways with the new challenges of contemporaneity to enable a faster turn toward sustainability and a more potentsynergy between the actors involved.
